Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration)

“Master, what did Fu Yunkui say in his letter?” Luyi asked curiously, while glancing at Shen Wan sitting next to her master reading the letter together. She felt particularly vexed. Despite only knowing Shen Wan for a short time, her master could tolerate her sitting beside her and reading the letter together – an honor Luyi herself had yet to experience.

Just moments ago, Fu Yunkui had sent a letter to Bai Weiwei. Seeing Bai Weiwei smile as she read it, Luyi couldn’t help but ask what had happened. After all, Fu Yunkui had never sent a letter to her master before.

Bai Weiwei put away the letter and said with a smile in her eyes, “Fu Yunkui says he recently picked up quite a few people on the brink of death along the road. These people are all disciples from various major sects. If they all died, it would be a severe blow to those sects.”

“Fu Yunkui is the master of the Wuji Palace. Why would he meddle in such affairs?” Luyi asked, not quite understanding. “It’s already good enough that he didn’t finish them off, but he even went out of his way to save them?”

Shen Wan shook her head and said, “You just don’t understand. Right now, everyone thinks Fu Yunkui killed the disciples from the major sects. By suddenly saving so many people and not killing them, even if he can’t clear his name completely, he can at least cast doubt on the suspicions of the major sects. Nobody’s a fool – with a bit of deeper thought, they’ll realize there are many questionable points about this matter.”

“Then why did he notify our master about this?” Luyi asked, puzzled.

Shen Wan believed that Luyi truly wasn’t suited to be by Bai Weiwei’s side – she didn’t resemble someone from the Water Cloud Palace at all.

So, she might as well explain.

“What else could it be for? Of course, it’s to have Miss Bai go save people. These are disciples from the major sects – would they be willing to let their core strength be diminished? Miss Bai’s medical skills are superb. Though expensive, after being treated by her, as long as they’re not missing limbs, there are no side effects. In just a couple of days, they’ll be up and about. Compared to losing so many disciples, what’s a little financial loss?”

Feeling the deep disdain coming from Shen Wan, Luyi was left speechless, her face flushing red. Thinking about it more deeply, it did seem to be the case.

“Miss Bai, let’s hurry and go. If we’re late and those people can’t hold on and die, your losses will be significant,” Shen Wan said as she shouldered her small bundle and leaped onto the back of a horse.

Bai Weiwei also mounted her horse. As the two rode off, Luyi finally reacted and hurried to catch up.

Why did she have a feeling of being forgotten and excluded? That Shen Wan seemed to understand her master even better than she did. Moreover, her master actually listened to her – looking left and right, it was as if the two of them were family.

Along the way, Luyi felt a deep disdain coming from Shen Wan. Even she began to doubt whether she truly understood her master’s habits after following her for over a decade. If she did understand, why was Shen Wan always able to anticipate her master’s thoughts before her?

Just look at this journey – how many times had her master been amused by Shen Wan’s words? Even the food Shen Wan bought each time greatly satisfied her master. If the taste hadn’t been truly good, she would have certainly caught Shen Wan and given her a good lesson.

Munching on a baked flatbread with relish, Luyi decided that having one more person to take care of her master wasn’t such a bad thing after all.

The group arrived at the place Fu Yunkui had mentioned – a rather large teahouse. Many people were already gathered around the teahouse, all having rushed over after receiving news of their disciples being injured.

As soon as Shen Wan and Bai Weiwei arrived, the crowd hurriedly made way for them.

Inside the teahouse stood people from the Wuji Palace.

Fu Yunkui sat at a table, drinking tea out of boredom. Around him on the ground were many stretchers, all carrying barely alive disciples from various major sects.

It seemed the bleeding had been temporarily stopped, and there were also doctors around examining their injuries. Those men in black had struck with lethal moves each time – ordinary doctors could only help prolong their lives but couldn’t do much else.

Sitting at several other tables were the leaders of the major sects, each with a serious expression, warily eyeing Fu Yunkui. Fu Yunkui merely glanced at Shen Wan and Bai Weiwei before standing up with a smile, completely ignoring the expressions of those around him.

“Madam Bai, you’ve finally arrived. If you had come any later, these people might have died, and they would likely have pinned the blame on me again.”

After saying this, Fu Yunkui’s gaze fell on the leaders of the major sects. “Everyone, Madam Bai has arrived. Are you going to save your disciples or not? If you’re going to save them, do it soon.” He paused, then glanced at the injured. “The doctors have already done their best to prolong their lives. If you don’t let Madam Bai treat them soon, they won’t be able to hold on much longer.”

Fu Yunkui truly didn’t care whether these sect disciples lived or died.

But he was even more unhappy about being framed for months. The person behind this wanted to kill these people and make the entire martial arts world believe it was the Wuji Palace’s doing, arousing public anger and then joining forces to deal with his Wuji Palace. He didn’t know what their purpose was, but he had no desire to be the scapegoat.

Since the person behind this made him unhappy, he decided to cause some trouble for them in return.

The people they wanted dead, he would find a way to save. After all, the people of his Wuji Palace were bored anyway – might as well find something for them to do.

And the person who could truly save the disciples of the major sects was Bai Weiwei.

Bai Weiwei, the number one scammer in the martial arts world, the woman most skilled at extorting money.

Saving one person was very expensive, and these righteous sects couldn’t afford to let their disciples die in vain just to save some money, especially in front of so many people.

So, they could only spend a large sum of money to ask Bai Weiwei to help.

Over time, even if he had the patience and the person behind this had the patience, these martial arts sects probably couldn’t sustain the financial burden.

Earlier, following Shen Wan’s words, he had investigated Yang Yanqing. Although there were many suspicious points, he couldn’t find any evidence for the time being. Regardless, he had his sights set on Yang Yanqing.

If it really was that hypocritical old dog’s doing, he would certainly not let him off easily.

But before that, he needed to figure out what the ultimate goal behind all this was.

“Everyone, do you want to save the disciples of your sects?”

Bai Weiwei walked in unhurriedly and asked the leaders of the major sects with a smile, “If you want to save them, just say the word. Given the large number, I can offer you a discount.”

Although they were extremely annoyed, the people from the major sects couldn’t lose face in front of so many people. Even knowing Bai Weiwei was extorting them, they couldn’t refuse to save their own disciples over money. Moreover, these disciples were the backbone of their sects – they had to be saved no matter what.

“We trouble Madam Bai.”

“Of course we want to save them. We’ve been waiting for Madam Bai to arrive.”

“Please, Madam Bai, we ask for your help.”

Bai Weiwei nodded and said with a smile, “I just took a quick look at their injuries, and they’re all about the same. Considering their injuries and status, the final price is 1,200 taels per person. Since there are many, I’ll give you a discount – 1,000 taels per person.”

“How does that sound?”

The leaders of the major sects nodded through gritted teeth. What else could they do? Even knowing it was a trap, could they simply not jump in?

As Bai Weiwei was saving people, Fu Yunkui walked over to Shen Wan’s side and asked in a low voice, “Not deaf or blind today?”

“Today I’m a normal person,” Shen Wan answered seriously, her gaze fixed on Bai Weiwei.

Fu Yunkui glanced around, seeing that everyone was focused on Bai Weiwei saving people. He lowered his voice further, “If you know anything else, just tell me everything. Once I investigate this matter clearly, you won’t go unrewarded.”

“I already told you before, I was just making wild guesses. How could I know anything?”

Without realizing it, the two had walked to a corner.

At this moment, everyone was anxious and impatient. Apart from Bai Weiwei, no one paid attention to them. She saw Fu Yunkui and Shen Wan hiding in the corner, whispering about something, and felt a strong urge to go over and listen. However, with countless injured people under her care, she could only suppress her curiosity and continue treating them.

“Alright, now there’s no one else here.”

Fu Yunkui had already led Shen Wan to a separate room. He always felt that this little girl must know something. Wildly guessing and coming up with Yang Yanqing? Come on, that’s something you’d use to fool a puppy.

“To be honest, I really don’t know anything more,” Shen Wan said seriously. “But haven’t you ever wondered why Yang Yanqing would go to such lengths to turn the entire martial arts world against you? Even to the point of wiping out Flying Crane Manor?”

Fu Yunkui frowned slightly. He had thought about all this but hadn’t been able to deduce anything useful.

Seeing his confusion, Shen Wan whispered, “What grudge do you have with Meng Wenshu?”

“A blood feud. Meng Wenshu killed my father years ago,” Fu Yunkui answered without hesitation. He paused, then continued, “Come to think of it, my father and Meng Wenshu had a fairly good relationship back then. At that time, I hadn’t yet joined the Wuji Palace, and our Fu family was considered part of the righteous sects.”

“Why did Meng Wenshu kill your father?”

Fu Yunkui frowned in thought, then shook his head. “I don’t know, but I definitely saw with my own eyes that my father was killed by Meng Wenshu. That day, my father seemed to know something was going to happen and hid me in a secret room. From inside, I heard the sounds of Meng Wenshu fighting with my father. Later, my father was killed by him, and then…” Recalling this, Fu Yunkui’s expression suddenly changed. “After killing my father, Meng Wenshu actually searched our house for a long time, looking for something.”

“That makes sense. What Meng Wenshu was looking for might be what Yang Yanqing wants now,” Shen Wan asked quietly. “Did your father give you anything important?”

Fu Yunkui glanced at Shen Wan and said, “No.” Even if there was something, why would he tell her?

He’d better investigate this matter slowly. He seemed to have some clues now. Perhaps he should go look through the things his father had given him back then and see if there were any clues.

“Alright, it doesn’t matter whether you tell me or not. Fu Yunkui, what do you think about Meng Xuan being sent flying out of Flying Crane Manor by Meng Wenshu’s palm strike in the end? Considering the timing of your duel with Meng Wenshu and the massacre at Flying Crane Manor, have you noticed anything suspicious?”

Fu Yunkui said confidently, “I can guarantee that Meng Wenshu died by my sword. I was also seriously injured at the time. Our duel ended in the afternoon, and Flying Crane Manor was massacred late at night. Meng Wenshu couldn’t have appeared at that time, so…” His eyes darkened. “The Meng Wenshu who appeared late at night could only have been fake.”

“Although the Meng Wenshu who appeared during the massacre of Flying Crane Manor that night was fake, I can assure you that the Meng Wenshu who killed my father years ago was definitely real. When I dueled with him earlier, Meng Wenshu admitted with his own mouth that he indeed killed my father,” Fu Yunkui suddenly laughed mockingly. “At the time, he was excited in his speech, not at all wary of me, as if he had some backing that could overcome me. When I pierced his heart with my sword, he still had a look of disbelief on his face, as if he couldn’t believe I could kill him.”

Shen Wan’s heart stirred, and she continued to ask, “Did it seem like he wanted to say something but couldn’t in the end?”

“It was indeed like that,” Fu Yunkui hadn’t paid much attention to these details at the time, but hearing Shen Wan mention it, he fell into deep thought. “Now that you mention it, I feel like that look of disbelief wasn’t directed at me, but at someone else.”

Shen Wan: She let out a long sigh. It wasn’t easy, but they had finally reached this point.

“Combining everything you’ve said before, I’ve wildly guessed a scenario,” Shen Wan said with a smile, cupping her face. “Meng Wenshu agreed to duel with you so readily, and even at the back mountain of Flying Crane Manor. Didn’t you suspect he had some kind of plot? He looked so excited, as if he could kill you or even control you. Didn’t that make you feel wary at all?”

“If I were to guess, the reason Meng Wenshu was so excited was that when he agreed to duel with you, there was likely another person hiding in the shadows, ready to strike at you at any moment. One person in the open, one in hiding, using some other tricks – would you have fallen for it?”

Fu Yunkui’s expression twisted for a moment. “In that situation, I indeed might have fallen into their hands,” he quickly realized something. “You mean there might have been a third person present during our duel? And this person was on Meng Wenshu’s side? The reason Meng Wenshu showed that look of disbelief before he died was because the outcome was different from what he expected, and that person didn’t intervene?”

“I’m just wildly guessing. You came to these conclusions yourself; it has nothing to do with me.”

Fu Yunkui didn’t believe her at all. If this little girl who played dumb wasn’t one of Bai Weiwei’s people, he would definitely grab her and question her thoroughly.

“I’ll investigate this matter clearly.”

“Actually, I suggest that if you have something they’re interested in, why not make multiple copies and share them with the entire martial arts world?” Shen Wan narrowed her eyes. With 188’s help, she would definitely be able to find the treasure before the entire martial arts world and empty it out.

When Yang Yanqing was fighting with the entire martial arts world over the treasure, they wouldn’t even know it had already been taken away.

When they finally found the location of the treasure and discovered there was nothing inside, who knew if they might die of anger?

“Let me teach you another way to deal with Yang Yanqing. Just beat him up whenever you have the chance. I guess he must be hiding his true strength. Unless absolutely necessary, he definitely won’t reveal his real abilities. When he’s coming down the mountain, halfway to the city, or on his way back to his sect, you can suddenly jump out and give him a good thrashing, preferably beating him half to death.

Your reputation is already in tatters anyway. With so many people misunderstanding you now, you might as well beat up Yang Yanqing, the leader of the martial arts world, to vent your anger. If you’re busy beating up Yang Yanqing, you won’t have time to ‘kill’ disciples from other sects.

On one hand, it clears your suspicion; on the other, you get to vent your anger. Isn’t this suggestion good?”

“Is it right to beat someone up for no reason like this?” Fu Yunkui hesitated.

“In everyone’s eyes, you’re not a good person anyway. You don’t need a reason to beat people up, do you? Remember, Fu Yunkui, you’re a bad guy. Don’t talk about principles or morals. You should act on impulse – that fits your image. Beat him up and leave. With enough momentum, it’ll even give you an air of mystery, living up to the saying ‘coming like the wind, leaving without a trace.’ Let the entire martial arts world see that you can beat up Yang Yanqing at will. Why would you need to kill those unimportant small fries?”

Fu Yunkui was slightly stunned, suddenly realizing that Shen Wan’s words made a lot of sense!

Really, why hadn’t he thought of this before?

Why hadn’t he considered directly leading people to cause trouble for Yang Yanqing? Find an opportunity and give him a good thrashing. Whether he gets angry or not, just beat him up and leave.

He’s supposed to be a bad guy, so why bother with reasons and morals? As long as it makes him feel good, isn’t that enough?

“Oh, and before you beat him up, you might want to notify me first. When Yang Yanqing is feeling unwell afterward, we’ll need my Miss Bai to help treat him,” Shen Wan muttered softly. “You get to vent your anger, and my Miss Bai makes money. It’s a win-win situation.”

Shen Wan saw Fu Yunkui’s incredulous expression and was about to say something else when Bai Weiwei’s voice came from outside, “What are you two talking about?”

Bai Weiwei opened the door to see Shen Wan and Fu Yunkui huddled close together, whispering about something. The smile in her eyes faded a bit.

Shen Wan quickly jumped up and ran to Bai Weiwei’s side. “Miss Bai, have you finished treating everyone outside?”

“They were just minor injuries. All have been properly treated,” Bai Weiwei said, her gaze not leaving Fu Yunkui. “What were you discussing?”

They even found an empty room and sneaked away to talk privately. What kind of secret required them to close the door to discuss?

“We were talking about Yang Yanqing.”

Bai Weiwei raised an eyebrow slightly. “What’s there to discuss about him?” Huddling so close together just to talk about that old codger Yang Yanqing?

“Recently, Fu Yunkui has been constantly framed and falsely accused, hasn’t he? He’s feeling frustrated and quite upset. I’ve been following Miss Bai for some time now and have learned a thing or two, so I helped him think of a way to relieve his frustration.”

Bai Weiwei became interested. “What solution did you come up with?”

“I suggested that he go beat up Yang Yanqing whenever he has the chance,” Shen Wan said without hiding anything. “I also suggested that he notify us before he does it.”

Bai Weiwei looked puzzled, so Shen Wan continued, “He definitely won’t go easy on Yang Yanqing. At the very least, it’ll take half his life, and at worst, he might be left with just a breath. No matter the situation, if we’re notified beforehand, we can rush over to treat Yang Yanqing. I’ve heard that the Returning to Void Sect is incredibly wealthy, with countless shops under their name and considerable annual income.”

“Miss Bai, what do you think of this suggestion?”

The smile reappeared in Bai Weiwei’s eyes. “Very good.”

Fu Yunkui: He hadn’t even agreed yet.

“Master Fu, when you decide to act, just send someone to notify us,” Bai Weiwei said to Fu Yunkui. “I have some pills here that can instantly boost one’s inner strength. If you’re worried that Yang Yanqing might suddenly reveal his true abilities and you can’t handle it, you can buy some to keep on hand just in case.”

Fu Yunkui declined: “Thank you for your kind offer, Madam Bai, but it’s not necessary. My strength improves every day.” They were so expensive – he’d rather spend two extra hours practicing each day.

Shen Wan’s suggestion wasn’t bad though. Now he was somewhat tempted to go give Yang Yanqing a good thrashing.

After Fu Yunkui left, Bai Weiwei casually asked, “When did you become so familiar with Fu Yunkui?”

“We’re not familiar at all. I’m just trying to think of ways to help Miss Bai find money-making opportunities. Being sheltered by Miss Bai, I can’t just do nothing, can I?”

“So hiding here and talking to Fu Yunkui for so long was just to find ways for me to make money?”

“Yes,” Shen Wan blinked. “What else did Miss Bai think it was?”

Bai Weiwei pursed her lips slightly and said, “I thought perhaps you found Fu Yunkui attractive and were captivated by him.”

“How could that be possible? I don’t like his type.”

Bai Weiwei’s eyes curved upwards as she asked, “Then what type do you like?”

Shen Wan: 188, how should I answer this sudden question? Brother 8, please help me think of something quickly! It’s super urgent!!
